Cast Metal K4s on Ebay?

It's described as a Bachmann 2-6-2, but the picture looks to be a very old Trix...

Then again, it may be an old HO Bowser or some such model.

Frank, this looks like an ancient HO model to me. While the model is crude, the running gear actually looks good...look at the wheel profiles...

I believe that's an old Penn Line (Bowser) model.

When properly assembled, they ran very well, and could pull a ton. I still have my E6,K4 and 2-10-0 from my old HO days. I'm hoping they'll somehow morph into N scale when I'm not looking...

Yup , I have that exact model. The X2F couplers give it away.

I don't know these old HO locs that well so it was the size of the hand that gave it away for me.

I sent them a fix note. I would hate to see a fellow N-scaler buy it unknowingly.

They lister seems to have updated the title to reflect the true identity of the item.
